I have a dear friend with a navy kitchen and it is gorgeous! Do it.
And, fwiw, we're renovating our kitchen now and putting in sage green cabinets. My house and my choice, and we will likely be here for a decade or more. Go with what you love! |

| I am about to re-do my kitchen with navy cabinets + white counter tops. I’m so excited. I posted about my hesitation to go navy in an earlier thread and a few posters talked me into doing it. The rest of my house is basically varying shades of white. I think a little color will look nice and it will my for my family to enjoy the next 10-15+ years. If the new owners paint over the cabinets or even tear my house down, there’s nothing I can do. May as well live a little! Navy is a good neutral so you’re not doing anything too crazy anyway. |

| I think it is classic, I often read 20 year old design mags and dark blue or dark green moody cabs (or even other greens) were used then, now and will be in the future. |

This is a kitchen tour of a Gardner I follow on you tube. Her kitchen is over twenty years old (and I think still very charming, others will disagree). But my point is, the finishes might look dated but the colored cabinets hold up. And she still loves them...my point is, if you love the color and it is done well the cabinets may be less likely to date themselves than other finishes in the kitchen.

| Recently installed a new custom kitchen with Navy cabinets, carrera marble, white backsplash, and a walnut island top. The floors are a distressed wide planked white oak and we also have a wood beamed ceiling. The paint color we matched to was Sherwin Williams Naval, not too dark and not too light and looks great paired with the wood. The counters had to be light to keep it from seeming dark. We do have a large window and natural light in this space. |

| i have navy cabinets with grey cabinets on the island, and blue lights above the island. it makes me happy, but definitely not considering what any future owner might want. i assume they'd rip everything out. not my problem. |

| We have white cabinets with a blue island - not sure I’d do it again. Since it’s a darker color, every scratch and piece of dust makes it look much more worn than the white - it never looks clean and overall just looks much older than the white cabinets elsewhere in the kitchen. |

| No, get white |

| I think if you will enjoy it, I'd do it. I wouldn't let a nicely done blue cabinet keep me from buying a house. |

If I were looking to buy your house, the blue cabinets would be a huge plus! Your ideas sound beautiful, OP.
